UK Terrorist Plot Foiled -

At first killed the (new) Americans the American Indians. They thought that country would be theirs. But it wasn't. It was the country of the Indians. But that didn't interest them. And exactly that way are the Americans going still. They think: "Oh great, there is a piece of land. Let's go!"

You have to realize that not all Americans believe in war as the best solution. About two halves of the country's population are divided on the issue.

And please, if you're going to make a statement about the genocide of the native tribes, you could at least include the part where Columbus forced the islanders into mines and sent some back to Europe as sex slaves, let alone not refer to them as "Indians." And if I recall correctly, didn't Spain and Great Britain and other European nations also attempt colonies in the Americas, with plenty of genocide to put the icing on the cake?

EDIT: I decided to exclude the French because they actually coexisted peacefully with the natives rather than butcher them up with a guillotine. And yes, I know the guillotine came after the French colonization.

that's right. Also colonies in africa. Our wealth is partly based on that.

// I have anyway no money for a flight-ticket. I couldn't care less if there any aircrafts falling down. As long as they don't fall on my head.

Only two halves?

Hops · #65 08-14-2006, 01:34 PM

do you think 3 halves? or maybe even 4?

Hops [darn it seems like I dislike you now] but please post more than a 1 word answer. Again the post should be revelant to the thread.

I was about to make sarcy comments at rexy. But then i realised she was a mod. God this place collapses when i'm not here!

I feel this thread has deviated anyway.

@Rex: these words are off topic but i have to say: I dont write for you! And I will not write what you like. Because I'm not your employee. And a forum is no encyclopedia. It's only small talk! And sometimes is one word as an answer enough. (For example by a marriage. Yes/No) And in the computer technology is anyway a short script better than a long script, because it runs faster. You should know that!
I dislike you too. But I'm not here to become loved by you. And I think you don't want to be loved by me. Why don't you give up your job here and become a normal user? You will get anyway never anything for beeing a Mod. If you want to help people you can do it also as a non-mod.

Don't argue at Rexy over that. It's in the rules. So please follow them.

I wish I had something to say here to direct the thread back on course, but I don't really. I know that recent flights over here have been delayed like crazy. Someone from here had a flight that takes normally 2 hours turn into 5 hours. Gah, terrorism is so inconvenient. Tsk tsk.

Linked from fark(a duh):Interesting article bringing the usefulness of x-raying shoes as a bomb detecting practice. Turns out it could just be a useless smelly hassle that doesn't accomplish anything. Buying 10s of millions of worthless scanners and turning flying into a totally awkward pain in the ass over nothing sure was worth it.
